ONEUS made their second comeback of 2023 in September 2023 with La Dolce Vita (their 10th mini-album) and Baila Conmigo (the title of their latest single). It follows on from their May 2023 PYGMALION and ERASE ME comeback.

Their latest release is a little short, with a total of five tracks (one of which is the Spanish version of the title track). But there is one exceptionally great song on the mini-album that you must check out, based on my opinion. Read on to find out which song that was!

1. Intro: Begging You – The intro to La Dolce Vita happens to be the most modern number, with its use of electronic synths and processing of vocals. I really like Begging You’s glitchy approach to its chorus, which gives the track complexity and a fun vibe (something that doesn’t travel through to the rest of the mini-album). The rest of the vocals and rapping was quite nicely done. (8/10)

3. Simulation – Why Simulation did not get the attention it deserves beats me. This was indeed a masterpiece of a song. The dramatic piano piece that kicks off Simulation (and is featured throughout the song)just sets the tone for the song, leading Simulation down a melodramatic and epic direction. The rest of the production concentrates the intensity of Simulation. The members’ vocals and rapping contribute to bringing that dramaticism to life, while the melodies make it flow like a classical ballroom piece on stage. Altogether, you get a very aesthetic and unique track that seemingly only ONEUS can full off. (10/10)

4. Epilogue – Epilogue is a bit standard for my liking and I put this on the R&B instrumentation. I know following Simulation is a tall order to ask for, but one of the barriers that really prevents me from connecting with Epilogue was the incredibly plain instrumentation. At least the vocals carried the song, with the members showcasing a fair bit of emotional heft and they sounded very heartfelt. The smoothness the vocals were also commendable. (7/10)

5. Baila Conmigo (Spanish Version) – Refer to my review for Baila Conmigo above.

Overall Album Rating – 8/10
